On 30 April, students of the Bachelor's study programme Marketing Technologies, together with the head of this programme, Prof. Dr Dalia Krikščiūnienė, visited the office of Hostinger that is located in Kaunas. The company is a global provider of web development platforms and hosting services, and one of the largest IT sector companies in Lithuania. Hostinger is a special social partner of Vilnius University Kaunas Faculty, having contributed to the development of the study programme Marketing Technologies at Vilnius University Kaunas Faculty five years ago.
“It is a pleasure that we are discovering new opportunities for cooperation in the study process and for students' careers. This visit to the office of Hostinger in Kaunas is not only an introduction to one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Lithuania, but also a real inspiration for the third-year students. Seeing how global digital marketing and technology processes work in the real world gives students a better understanding of where their chosen field is heading. We are glad that Hostinger is not only a social partner of our programme, but also a valuable source of knowledge, internships and career opportunities for a new generation of technology and marketing professionals,” says the head of this study programme, Prof. Dr Dalia Krikščiūnienė.
Hostinger, the Internet services company with a record number of customers, which reaches 4 million, has warmly welcomed the students. They had the chance to visit open, cosy, playfully and creatively designed work and leisure spaces that motivate employees to unleash their talents, keep learning and dedicate themselves to implementing modern projects.

Monika Dirginčė, Head of Employer Image at Hostinger, introduced the students to Hostinger's values, work culture and team activities. She encouraged students to look for jobs in various fields, ranging from online customer consultancy to the development of artificial intelligence solutions.
“We are delighted to be working with Vilnius University (VU). The study programme Marketing Technologies is a great example of how creativity, technology and entrepreneurship can be combined. These diverse skills are particularly important in the Hostinger team, where we value curiosity, initiative and the ability to make thoughtful decisions,” says the representative of Hostinger.
According to Prof. Dr D. Krikščiūnienė, such visits strengthen university-business ties and help students link theory and practice.
“The visit to Hostinger's office was a pleasant experience, both in terms of its modern working environment and its approach to marketing based on technology, data and artificial intelligence. It was a great opportunity to see firsthand how a multinational company with millions of users around the world operates. I was particularly impressed by the emphasis on innovation and rapid adaptation to market changes. This is very motivating – I now understand even more clearly how the content of our study programme reflects what companies like Hostinger are looking for today,” says the third-year student Benas Bernotavičius.
